Anyone ever rent a Rug Doctor?  this is my 3rd rental and i've had some major issue with every single one of them. 

1st time--  I didn't really know how to use it, and the carpet was left pretty wet.  The carpet ended up smelling like mold....which we eventually had to get rid of.

2nd time--  I read all the instructions this time, thought i was good to go.  The machine turned out defective and was leaking water even when i wasn't spraying.  i returned it and put the task off until tonite....

3rd time-- i did a little patch of area with success, and some dirty water to dump! yay!  however after dinner, i went to move the bulky machine aside to finish tomorrow.  lo and behold i see some crawling critters underneath and on it.  there are tiny cockroaches coming out of it!@!**?!!! 
 
im so disgusted right now, not to mention feelin itchy all over.  i banished the machine to the outdoors.  i dunno,  some people rave about this machine but i think i've been thoroughly traumatized to this again.

Re: carpet cleaning
I used to clean my carpets but it's a fading memory. I did it at night when my spouse was out of town and my kids were asleep. It was awful, and the effect was probably just psychological ... I thought the carpets were clean. Roaches? How awful. I got silverfish one time from buying used books. Beware.

Re: carpet cleaning
cleaning carpets is really more trouble than it's worth!  it doesn't smell "cleaner" either, rather it smells like musty cardboard boxes.   someone said to had a capfull of bleach next time.  great idea, but i don't think there'll ever be a next time.  heh.
silverfish are creepy looking!!

Re: carpet cleaning
They were hard to get rid of... until we got a cat. I think the cat thought they were mice.

Re: carpet cleaning
Talk about bad luck, huh?

Obviously the guys who rented your machine forgot to clean it before giving it to you.. that's really sad. I hate cockroaches. They're a plague around here.. that's the problem with sewers: it's a really safe place for all things dirty.

I got rid of my carpets.. (at least until the next time my landlords comes over to inspect the room..)
